Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

"So many monsters! Monsters are everywhere!"

"The monster is in the north, everyone run south! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! If you escape, you'll live!"

"Bullshit! Don't listen to him, there are monsters in the south too!"

"Brother, what's going on? Why did the monsters suddenly attack?"

"I don't know. I just heard it from someone. They said there's a dark mass outside the city gate, full of monsters with three heads and six arms, each five or six meters tall, and there are so many that you can't even count them..."

"Hiss... What should we do then? Can the city gates be defended?"

"Defend my ass! The garrison has already fled! I was just near the city gate, and there was no one there except for a few militiamen..."

"What should we do then? Do the demons accept people? How about we open the city gates and lead them the way?"

"I don't know? We should probably try, right? Shall we give it a shot?"

Mu An, who was moving against the flow of people, suddenly turned his head and glanced at the group of people who said they would lead the way for the demon race.

A faint light flickered at the tips of his five fingers, then went out all at once in the next instant.

A flash of cold light appeared on the street, and a head was raised high.

"Murder!!! Run! Run!"

With a flash of light, several hideous heads fell to the ground one after another.

The crowd fell silent for a moment, then scattered and fled.

In just a few dozen breaths, the street, which was just full of people, was now down to just two people standing there.

The middle-aged swordsman, who had sheathed his sword, turned to look at Mu An, his gaze lingering on Mu An's clothes for a few seconds before he spoke in a rather cold tone.

"They deserve to die. Young masters who only know how to drink milk should mind their own business."

Mu An didn't take the unfriendly tone of the swordsman's words to heart. He nodded slightly to the swordsman and asked a question.

"There are at least ten thousand demons outside the city, all of them elite demons. Where are you planning to go, hero?"

Perhaps the word "hero" touched the swordsman's heartstrings, for his cold face softened slightly, though his voice remained indifferent.

"Slay the demon, repay the debt of gratitude."

After uttering these four concise words, the swordsman shut his mouth and walked step by step toward the north of the city.

"It's as bad as ever, but it's not hopeless."

The undisguised emotion made the swordsman turn around. He glanced at Mu An, who was gazing at the town and talking to himself, and snorted coldly.

"You are also a Martial Saint of the Great Qi Dynasty. Instead of whining here, you should kill more monsters."

After saying that, the swordsman didn't even glance at Mu An, and continued walking towards the city gate alone, facing the setting sun.

Mu An glanced at the swordsman's back twice and gently shook his head.

"With so much karma on your body, which is good and which is evil?"

The flowing cloud flew out of its scabbard, circled a few times in mid-air, and one could see the eagerness in the sword itself.

The Taoist divine sword that Princess Yongning gifted to Mu An has now completely changed its appearance. The cloud patterns on it have all turned crimson, and the entire blade is radiating a chilling red light.

Mu An gently stroked the sword and nodded in satisfaction at Liu Yun.

"Excellent, excellent, your taste is getting better and better! Look at that domineering crimson light, it's clearly a nemesis of evil and slaughter, a true model of righteousness!"

The praise from its master made Liuyun's sword spirit even more excited. It kept spinning in the air, waiting for Mu An's command to rush out and fight its way in and out.

"Good boy, I'll let you stand up for justice in a moment! I'll uphold fairness for all living beings!"

……

North Gate, above the city wall.

A hundred or so soldiers hid below the battlements, glancing down at the city wall every now and then.

They wore tattered leather armor, held rusty weapons, and their legs trembled as they squatted, whether from fear or from being too weak from squatting for too long, it was hard to tell.

Five hundred meters from the north gate of Wangliu City, tens of thousands of demon soldiers stood in formation.

Each of them was exceptionally tall, and they appeared even more terrifying in the setting sun.

Although it wasn't armored, its enormous body, at least three or four meters tall, was enough to terrify most people.

Leading the group was a powerful demon from the Sirius clan, standing seven zhang tall, resembling a small black mountain.

Just a glance towards the city wall was enough to send chills down the spines of the soldiers guarding the city walls, with the more timid ones even losing control of their bladders on the spot.

"This monster! Are you kidding me! How are we supposed to fight this?!"

"The cannons and muskets were also taken by the fleeing soldiers, leaving only scrap metal..."

"Boss, how about we surrender?"

"Bullshit!!! This is a monster! A man-eating monster! What good will it do you to subdue it?"

"There are so many people in the city, they can't possibly eat us all, right? Some of them will survive..."

"Shut the hell up! If you say another word, I'll chop you up!"

"Our brothers' wives and children are in the city. If you don't want them to die, pick up your swords and fight these sons of bitches!"

"Boss, a man has come down from the city gate. He looks like a pretty skilled swordsman and says he wants to help us defend the city." A soldier hurriedly ran up to the city gate.

"A江湖人 (Jianghu person)? Let him come up. It's always good to have one more person!" The leading official's face showed a moment of relief, but then turned cold again.

Two minutes later, the messenger returned to the city wall with a strange expression.

"Boss, another person has arrived at the city gate. He's a young master, I don't know how to describe him, but he seems to be of higher status than the prefect. He told us to open the city gate."

"###!!!"

"Tell him! We swear we will never surrender! If the demons want to kill our families, they'll have to step over our dead bodies first!"

"Wait a minute, give that idiot a good beating! That damned thing must be trying to trade the people of the city for his own wealth and glory!" The militia leader guarding the city was extremely agitated, waving his fists as if he were about to kill someone.

Three minutes later, the messenger returned to the city wall once again.

"head……"

"Huh? You finished beating him so quickly? Is that young master so easily beaten?"

"No..." The messenger just stared at his boss, his gaze toward the militia leader was as strange as could be.

"Speak up if you have something to say."

"The city gates opened by themselves, and all the soldiers who went down knelt down..."

"Um?"

"Boss, that young master asked me to tell you that you are now the prefect of Wangliu City, but you have to be beaten up ten times before you take office."

???

"Head! Look up! Look at the sky! Look at the clouds!!"

The sound faded, and the wind rose.

An invisible aura covered the earth, and at this moment, heaven and earth lost their original brilliance, with everything in sight being covered by the glow of the sunset.

First, five-colored light spots emerged from the surface of the thick clouds, then the halo became more and more intense, and a giant sword thousands of feet long emerged from the sky and slowly pressed down towards the ground.

Crimson light intertwined with rosy clouds, transforming the sky into a world of the five elements.

boom!!!!!
